It's more about family, friendship and long lasting love rather than a typical romantic drama
Finally finished this kdrama and as much as I enjoyed it, was greatly disappointed with the ending. No spoilers, but how they tidied it up was sweet enough, but it could of done with a couple of more episodes to really give the story the happy ending we all wanted. In the end I was routing for the second couple's (best friend and single dad) happily ever after more than the male and female leads. I think they wasted a few episodes just with each other's exes. Also not being confident enough to speak up about how they felt about each other. They danced around that for a couple of episodes too. They have supposedly known each other for 30 years, how can they be so unaware of their feelings.The saving grace was the supporting cast. Loved the families and friends. Loved their relationship with their kids and each other. Especially loved the Lavender girls. It showed that long lasting friendships may have their difficulties but overall their love and dedication spans the decades. Maybe that is what we should get from this series. Not a romcom, but a beautifully acted and written kdrama about love in all it's forms and how it can whether whatever trials and tribulations that can come their way.
Overall it is worth a watch just for watching those dynamic relationships. If you want a childhood friendship to adult love, romantic kdrama, watch Fight for My Way, this kdrama is so much better at portraying this theme.

Story makes no sense
Where do I start. I think the story would be better if they were not 5 mins long. Also I think some of the dialogue is lost in translation. The male and female leads are good looking. The supporting cast act well, but overall the story makes no sense. For a story like this to work there needs to be more of a preamble towards their deepening love. It's like the male lead bumps into female lead. Female lead then meets him again after she gets drugged and placed in the male leads bed. From that encounter she becomes his girlfriend. WHAT!!! No logic. Both of them have been drugged and placed in that situation, so why isn't the police involved. Then they fall in love. HOW!!! Where is the courtship? Where is the lead up to the relationship? Also the ex boyfriend of the female lead is vile. He goes from being her childhood saviour, to an utter shit. He is (with his new girlfriend) responsible for the female lead being in dangerous situations with other men. Just really disappointed with his drama. Has great potential to be a really interesting, gripping, romantic drama. Instead it is a rushed, mishmash of other stories, thrown together to make a series. Disappointed. ?Was this review helpful to you?
